ESD Precautions
Computer boards have integrated circuits sensitive to static electricity. To prevent chipsets
from electrostatic discharge damage, please take care of the following jobs with precautions:
Do not remove boar ds or integrate d circ uits from their anti-static p ack aging until you are
ready to install them.
Before holding the boar d or integrate d circuit, touch an unpainted p ortion of the s ystem
unit chassis for a few seconds. It discharges static electricity from your body.
Wear a wrist-ground ing strap, available from m ost electronic component stores, when
handling boards and components .

2.3 Jumper Settings
Jumper is a small component consisting of jumper clip and jumper pins. Install jumper clip on 2
jumper pins to close. And remove jumper clip from 2 jumper pins to open. The following
illustration shows how to set up jumper.
Before applying power to MANO840 Series, please make sure all of the jumpers are in factory
default position. Below you can find a summary table and onboard default settings.
Note
Once the default jumper setting needs to be changed, please do it under power-off
condition.

2.3.1 Clear CMOS (CLR_CMOS)
This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS. You can
clear the CMOS memor y of date, time, and system setup parameters by erasing the
CMOS RTC RAM data. The onboard button cell battery powers the RAM data in CMOS,
which includes system setup information such as system passwords.
To erase the RTC RAM:
1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the onboard battery.
3. Move the jumper clip f rom pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3. Keep the clip on pins 2-3
for about 5~10 seconds, then move the clip back to pins 1-2.
4. Re-install the battery.
5. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.
6. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re-enter
data.
Caution
Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the clip on this jumper
default position. Removing the clip will cause system boot failure!
Note
You do not need to clear the RTC when the system hangs due to
overclocking. For system failure due to overclocking, use the C.P.R. (CPU
Parameter Recall) feature. Shut down and reboot the system so the BIOS
can automatically reset parameter settings to default values.
2.3.2 VCON Voltage Select (VCON)
This jumper allows you to select the panel type of LVDS panel.
2.3.3 LVDS Backlight Power Select (LCD_PWR1)
This jumper allows you to select the panel power mode of LVDS panel.

Hardware Installation
Tak e note of the fol lowing prec autions befor e you install m otherboard com ponents or chan ge
any motherboard settings.
Caution
Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.
Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or a metal
object, such as the power supply case, before handling components to avoid
damaging them due to static electricity.
Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
Whenever you uninstall any component, pl ace it o n a gro unded ant i-static pa d
or in the bag that came with the component.
Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the ATX power
supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply.
Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals,
and/or components.
3.1 Motherboard Overview
Before you install the mother board, stud y the configuratio n of your chass is to ensure that t he
motherboard fits into it. Refer to the chassis documentation before installing the motherboard.
Warning
Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the
motherboard. Failure to do so can cause you physical injury and damage
motherboard components.
3.1.1 Placement Direction
When installing the m otherboard, make sure that you pl ace it into the chassis in the
correct orientation. The ed ge with exter nal ports goes to th e rear part of the ch assis as
indicated in the image below.
3.1.2 Screw Holes
Place four (4) screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the
chassis.
Caution
Do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so can damage the motherboard.

Place this side towards the rear of the chassis.
3.2 System Memory
3.2.1 Overview
The motherboard com es with one 204-pin Dou ble Data Rate 3 Low voltage (DDR3L)
Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Modules (SO-DIMM) socket.
A DDR3L module has the same ph ysical dimensions as a DDR SO-DIMM but has a
204-pin footprint compared to the 204-pin DDR2 DIMM. DDR3L DIMMs are notched

3.2.2 Memory Configurations
You may install 1GB, 2GB, 4GB and 8GB non-ECC DDR3L SO-DIMM into the SO-DIMM
socket using the memory configurations in this section.
Important
If you installed over 4GB memory module, the system may detect
less than 3GB of total memory because of address space allocation
for other critical functions. This limitation applies to Windows 32-bit
version operating system since it does not support PAE (Physical
Address Extension) mode.
If you install Windows 32-bit version operating system, we
recommend that you install less than 3GB of total memory.
Due to CPU limitation, SO-DIMM modules with 128Mb memory chips
or double-sided x16 memory chips are not supported in this
motherboard.
3.3.3 Installing a SO-DIMM
1. Unlock a SO-DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outward.
MANO840 Mini ITX Motherboard
22 Hardware Installation
2. Align a SO-DIMM on the socket suc h th at t he notch on the SO-DIMM matc hes the
break on the socket.
3. Firmly insert the SO-DIMM into the sock et until the retaining clips snap back in
place and the SO-DIMM is properly seated.
Important
A DDR3L SO-DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one
direction. DO NOT force a SO-DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging
the SO-DIMM.
The DDR3L SO-DIMM socket does not support DDR2 SO-DIMM. DO
NOT install DDR2 SO-DIMM to the DDR3L SO-DIMM socket.
Caution
Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing
SO-DIMM or other system components. Failure to do so may cause
severe damage to both the motherboard and the components.

3.2.4 Removing a SO-DIMM
1. Simultaneously press the retaining clips downward to unlock the SO-DIMM.
2. Remove the SO-DIMM from the socket.
Note
Support the SO-DIMM lightly with your fingers when pressing the
retaining clips. The SO-DIMM might get damaged when it flips out with
extra force.
3.3 Expansion Card
In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The following sub-sections describe the
slots and the expansion cards that they support.
Warning
Make sure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing expansion cards.
Failure to do so may cause you physical injury and damage motherboard
components.
3.3.1 Installing an Expansion Card
1. Before installing the expansion car d, read the documentation that c ame with it and
make the necessary hardware settings for the card.
2. Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already installed in a
chassis).
3. Remove the bracket oppos ite the slot that you intend to use. Keep th e screw for
later use.
4. Align the card connector with the sl ot and press firml y until the card is complete ly
seated on the slot.
5. Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier.
6. Replace the system cover.

3.3.2 Configuring an Expansion Card
After installing the expansion card, configure it by adjusting the software settings.
1. Turn on the system and change the necessary BIOS settings, if any. See Chapter 5
for information on BIOS setup.
2. Assign an IRQ to the card if needed.
3. Install the software drivers for the expansion card.
3.3.3 PCI-Express x1 Slot (PCIE)
This motherboard supports one PCI-Express x1. The following figure shows a
PCI-Express x1 card installed on the PCI-Express x1 slot.

AMI BIOS Setup Utility
The AMI UEFI BIOS provides users with a built-in setup program to modify basic system
configuration. All configured parameters are stored in a flash chip to save the setup information
whenever the power is turn ed off. This chapter provide s users with detailed desc ription about
how to set up basic system configuration through the AMI BIOS setup utility.
5.1 Starting
To enter the setup screens, follow the steps below:
1. Turn on the computer and press the <Del> key immediately.
2. After you press the <Del> key, the main BIOS setup m enu displa ys. You can access the
other setup screens from the main BIOS setup menu, such as the Advanced and Chipset
menus.
Note
If your computer cannot boot after making and saving system changes with BIOS
setup, you can restore BIOS optimal defaults by setting CLR_CMOS (see section
2.3.1).
It is strongly recomm ended that you should avoid ch anging the chipset’s defaults. Both AMI
and your system manufacturer have carefully set up these defaults that provide the best
performance and reliability.
5.2 Navigat ion Keys
The BIOS setup/utilit y uses a key-based n avigati on system called hot k eys. Most of the BIOS
